'Arjuna will drive your chariot, yoked with white horses, covered with a tiger skin and ringing with a hundred bells. Abhimanyu will always be close beside you, as will Nakula, Sahadeva, and the five sons of Draupadi. The Panchalas will follow you, and the great warrior Shikhandin; I too will accompany you, and all the Andhakas and Vrishnis. The Dasharhas will be your retinue, and also the Dasharnas, O lord of men. Enjoy the kingdom, O mighty-armed one, together with your brothers the Pandavas, accompanied by mantras, fire offerings, and manifold auspicious rites. Let the Dravidas together with the Kuntalas go before you, and the Andhras, the Talacharas, the Chuchupas and the Venupas as well.'
